The white ingrediant are “Knallerbsen“, which in germany are used as a kind of firework. You through them on the ground and they “explode“ and make a bang(knall in german).
just so you know, ever game i cover gets a static cam option. if you're watching an active-cam version of one my videos made in the last 5 years, check the show notes and you'll find a link to the static cam version in there :)
the great art and your black table cover make this game look like everything is 3D! Lol the books and the main cauldron board really look 3D on the screen to me, even though I know they are not, I had to keep convincing myself lol
White one is the common snowberry or Symphoricarpos albus. They pop when you step onto them, that's why they are also called Knallerbsen in Germany. Knallerbsen are little fire crackers for children that crack when you throw them on the ground. I guess that's why they are called cherrybombs in the English manual.
When you got to double your green token to a 2, would that not have also meant you moved forward 4 spaces total (because of the purple properties?). We tried playing this last night and found it really confusing so was hoping this video would clear it up 😅
Agreed, it reminded me of those as well (also called Snowberries). Very common around NL and presumably Germany (where the designer is from). We always used to step on them as kids, because they make a cool popping sound ;-)
I love your run throughs but the last few I watched had major run issues. Wondering if maybe you should retape rather than just a Klingon note. Then the whole game is off and I have a feeling I would get confused when playing later. Just a thought. Thanks again for the videos.
when things really go off the rails, i do re-record (happens a couple times a month). but it has to be when i get crucial rules wrong that end up misrepresenting the feel of the game (which is the only think i care about in these videos... they're not intended to teach the rules at all). so goofs like this video (forgetting to reset a potion, accidentally buying a 2nd copy of the same thing) don't get in the way of demonstrating what the game feels like to play, hence the klingon subs :)
The white ingredient is colloquially known as 'Knallerbse' in german which literally translate to 'bang pea' or 'pop pea', so it totally makes sense, that your cauldron explodes if you have to much of them in it! The real name is Schneebeere, which just means snowberry - boring.
yeah, sorry about that. didn't realize, but somehow the gain on my camera has gone way down. i just increased it today on what i filmed, but you might notice some of the next videos i've got coming have this problem. again, sorry for the trouble!
This is just too solo like. Everyone is working simultaneously and for themselves. We like a little more player interaction. It sucks when you just work on your own and don't even care to look at your opponents board. This is like playing bingo. No player interaction whatsoever.
It won the award for KENNERspiel which is the award for ADVANCED games not expert games. Spiel des Jahres games are already playable for families with younger school children (around 8 years old), while Kennerspiel is more for families with children that are already a bit older (10-12 years). Admittedly, Quacks of Quedlinburg is on the lighter side of the scale, but it still counts.
'expert' and 'advanced' are both poor translations. the kennerspiel is usually awarded to a "next step" game... one that's good for families that have mastered something like ticket to ride (which is a spiel des jahres level game), and are ready for something slightly more complex. that's where the kenner comes in...

Fun Snaps! :)
Indeed!! Sweet childhood memories. My older brother collected handfuls, stuffed them in the back of my sweater and slapped me on the back... itchy...
Whoda thunk it? Hard to guess unless you're German!
@ 14:36 Rahdo mentions you can buy 2 toadstools, but I thought you cannot buy 2 of the same color on the same purchase action.
noted... thanks
In sweden we call the white ingredient for "bang berries" (roughly translated), since they can cause your potion to explode :)
I am still watching,did not had a chance to play! One question,do you youse potion after you took chip from bag and saw number or how?
I like your static cam runthroughs so much! Great video!

@@rahdo I know! I've watched plenty already! Love your energy!

lol now that you mention it, i can't help but see it as 3d too! :)
Haha, I thought from the title this was a game about ducks :) Quack :)
I think the white ingredient kind of looks like fantasy exploding garlic (??)
Nooooo... it's a "Knallerbse"!!!! 😊
Snowberries.

Missed a great oppertunity to use Deadly Nightshade, Worms Wort, and Frogs Breath. Nothing is more suspicious than Frogs Breath.
SNOWBERRIES 😊
the literal translation for "Knallerbse" would be "boom pea"... gets a bit lost in translation...
Very fun game!

timestamp please

1:15 So that means that there are a total of 10 (5 Choose 3) setups of all of those!
On Gamenight! They called the white ingredient snow berries.
Fortune teller cards.. You CANNOT take a purple chip untill the book is uncovered.
It was already noted... Like Richard said at the start of the video, Turn On the Klingon subtitles to know when he goofs up!
The setup of the ingredients doesn't look right. The labels found in the bottom of the books are mixed. They should all be the same.
the rules do allow for mixing up groups if the player likes :)
Wait what goes into the sacks ?
the ingredient chips :)
The audio is much quieter than usual on this one... for me anyway.

Why does this remind me of Alchemists?
because there's alchemy...?
how did this win game of the year for EXPERT players o.o

@@rahdo That makes more sense, though I would have picked Heaven & Ale for that title personally.
4 minutes into this video and it seems that the rulebook is garbage.
